CIS languages, what is it, you might ask. CIS languages are the languages of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), former USSR countries. The organization was founded in 1991. Right now it includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

The most widely spoken language in CIS countries is, of course, Russian. At the time of USSR it was a state language of all Soviet Republics. Today Russian is still widely used in the CIS countries. E.g. in the Eastern part of Ukraine 98% of the population speak Russian, though all the official documents are prepared in Ukrainian. Western part of Ukraine is solely Ukrainian speaking.
